Arctic Lapland Rally, China and others.

I believe many of you have heard that Kimi Räikkönen will participate Arctic Lapland Rally in January with Citroën's WRCar. Now news have come up that Heikki Kovalainen will do this too.

Kovalainen is driving for Lotus in the 2010 Formula 1 season and Lotus has been owned by Proton for a while, so its not a surprise that Heikki will participate with Proton's Satria Neo S2000 rally car, that'll make its WRC debut in 2010 aswell, in Lapland.

Surely Arctic Lapland rally will prove to be quite exciting rally for both the teams and spectators.

Last week, Jussi Välimäki drove out and crashed into a rock in the Longyou rally in China. Jussi himself was unscathed, but his co-driver Marko Sallinen suffered hair fractures in his ribs.

But as of now, both are healthy and will participate in the Guizhou Bailing rally that will end the season in China. Also participating this rally is another finn, Juha Salo with his co-driver Mika Stenberg.

And for the end, Antero Visaheimo made a great piece for Ralli.net.
